Now that interstate travel restrictions have been lifted, Trigg Mining (TMG) is set to begin its 2020 field exploration program at the Lake Throssell Project in WA.

This will be the first field-based exploration program to be undertaken at the project since it was discovered late last year.

The Lake Throssell Sulphate Potash Project lies approximately 170 kilometres east of Laverton in Western Australia and covers an area of 868 square kilometres.

The project has returned results grading up to 6700mg/l potassium, or 14,800mg/l sulphate of potash (SOP), and Trigg believes it has the potential to host high-grade SOP features.

Drilling will be undertaken in two phases and the aim is to outline a potential maiden JORC mineral resource.

A soon as statutory approvals are received, an initial 24-hole program will be completed to target the near-surface brine mineralisation.

Simultaneously, a gravity survey will be undertaken, with the results aiming to provide a thorough and accurate synopsis of the project.

This will help Trigg outline drilling locations for an off-take aircore drilling program and a future lake-based drilling program.

“We are really excited to be heading back to the field following the progressive lifting of COVID-19 restrictions,” Managing Director Keren Paterson commented.

“We have designed a flexible and nimble helicopter-supported on-lake drill program that will begin as soon as final approvals are received and which we expect to generate invaluable data to follow-up the high-grade auger drilling results reported late last year,” she added.

Trigg is steady on the market today and shares are trading for 6.4 cents each at 12:09 pm AEST.
